The Misty Weekend

Golden held its annual Fine Arts Festival last weekend. Misty, me and Alex had a blast riding the mini train, checking out the art on hand, and enjoing some time in Clear Creek in Golden.

Alex's 2nd/3rd Day of Kindergarten

Alex had a wonderful 2nd and 3rd day of Kindergarten as well. For those few of you who actually follow this blog, don't worry I'm not posting everyday but wanted to let you know she's acclamated and enjoying her new class.

Her new friends are Brooke, Caroline, and Lily. I'm sure she'll make more but that's good for the moment. Here are a few video for your viewing pleasure:

End of Day, see if you can spot Alex...

And here's a bit of an interview with the kiddo:

Alex's First Day of Kindergarten

And so the first day of Alex's school career begins today, Monday, August 23, 2010. Alex made her way to Mitchell Elementary School in Golden, CO. Nana provided a wonderful little plaid dress and matching top and with her new princess back pack, she set off to her first day of Kindergarten.

Ocean City, Maryland - Second Post

In addition to providing some photos of the kiddo, I thought I'd take the liberty to include a post on another wonderful tradition associated with trips to Ocean City, Maryland. These are of course steamed Maryland Blue Crabs. This wonderful delicacy of the chesapeake is only complete when accompanied with cold beer, corn on the cob, and family and friends telling stories. Here is Aunt Kathy and my brother Brian enjoying a few...

Ocean City, Maryland - First Post

Alex and I had the pleasure of spending 9 days in Ocean City, Maryland compliments of Grandpa (thanks Dad). We arrived in Maryland on Saturday, July 24 and proceeded to spend the next 9 days enjoying time with family at the beach. I'm currently working on a consolidated video but this will give you a taste.
